Government is the art of getting something done.
Politics is the art of winning.
Too many candidates either don't know the difference or they deliberately confuse the two, believing they can persuade voters that their way is the best way.
Just what that way is, however, is seldom explained, on the assumption that voters would not understand, so why bother.
But if they really are as intelligent as they claim to be, why can't they explain it?
Two possible answers: Either they are not as intelligent as they claim to be, or they lie.
Fancy that. Politicians lie. Who knew?
Some candidates defend themselves by saying they believe voters are just as intelligent as they are.
More's the pity.
